BEEP……BEEP…..BEEP…..BEEP

My cardiac muscles

Pump in and pump out

Squeezing blood through

My veins, my arteries

And then little down the line, my capillaries.

 

Breathe in. Breathe out.

That’s what they tell me.

Poking scalpels and doing a by-pass

That’s the only way I’ll survive they urge.

So down goes the anesthetic.

 

BEEP………BEEP……….BEEP

Knocked out unconscious

Nerve signals blocked

Swimming in thick deep water

Water like porridge or honey

Murkiness.

 

BEEP…………BEEP

Heart rate slowed down.

Haziness.

Should have studied Biology.

Painkillers?

Injections?

How am I able to think?

 

BEEP………………………
